In an interview with
Fox News on Tuesday,
Mayor Francis Suarezargued in favor of US military intervention and listed examples of previous US wars that involved airstrikes. When asked if he is suggesting that the US bomb Cuba, Suarez said,
“What I’m suggesting is that option is one that has to be explored and cannot be just simply discarded as an option that is not on the table.”
“And there’s a variety of ways the military can do it. But that’s something that needs to be discussed and needs to be looked as a potential option in addition to a variety of other options that can be discussed,” he added.
In a separate interview
with Fox Business News on Tuesday, Suarez again argued for US military invention.
“The US has intervened in Latin America in numerous occasions and has been very successful,” he said. Echoing the Cold War, Suarez said Cuba is a threat to the US because it is “exporting communism throughout the hemisphere.”
Luckily, it doesn’t appear that the Biden administration has any plans to invade or bomb Cuba. The State Department said Tuesday that it is looking at ways to “support” the Cuban people
but is downplaying the impact of the decades-old US embargo on Cuba.
